Chemical Structure

3-(4,5-Dimethyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzoic acid CAS 1342857-87-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-(4,5-Dimethyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzoic acid is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3-(4,5-Dimethyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzoic acid (CAS 1342857-87-7), molecular formula C12H12N2O2 and molecular weight 216.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

3-(4,5-Dimethyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzoic acid (C12H12N2O2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

CATO manufactures 3-(4,5-Dimethyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzoic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
